"It is well know to all how much daily problems the Bulgarian people has in these days. However, more dangerous than anything is the tendency to loose identity and national selfconfidence. This is a clearly visible tendency in the inscriptions of foreign languages, mass emigration and the wish for imitation of foreign culture. At other side, the answer to the question, "Why are you ashamed to call youself Bulgarian?" is more than obvious: there is in the present time to be proud of. The above-described situation makes preservation and popularization of Bulgarian History extraordinarily important. If it ... |

Пиеса. ... "Алкатраз е хубаво име. Представям си някога да замина за там, за някакъв остров с толкова звучно име. Исла де Алкатраз. Островът на пеликаните. Това би ми харесали. Там ще мога да видя пеликаните. Ятата птици. Чувам шума им. Представям си как седя на някоя близка скала и ги наблюдавам. Как ятата се вдигат във въздуха. Как пеликаните прелитат над главата ми. Как пеликаните отлитат. Аз оставам да седя. Докато повече не мога да ги видя. Докато последният пеликан изчезне на хоризонта, оставам да седя. Просто оставам само да седя." Из "Островът на пеликаните" Осемнайсетгодишният мексиканец Каве ... |

Third supplemented edition. ... The purpose I pursue with this book is to compare the information that has come down to us from old writers and to draw some conclusions about the people who spread the Bulgarian state to the Balkans, without resorting to the numerous contemporary books that I have read and that fill my library. I do this not out of disrespect for the tremendous work of contemporary Bulgarian writers and historians, but out of a desire to make an independent assessment of events and to draw my own conclusions about the relationship and sequence of events and their consequences by reading only older authors. ... |

This is a book about TRUTH - and all the ingenious ways, throughout history, that we've managed to avoid it. We live in a 'post-truth' age, we're told. The US has a president who openly lies on a daily basis (or who doesn't even know what's true, and doesn't care). The internet has turned our everyday lives into a misinformation battleground. People don't trust experts any more. But was there ever really a golden age of truth-telling? As the editor of the UK's leading independent fact-checker, Tom Phillips deals with complete bollocks every day. Here, he tells the story of how we ... |
